One of the most striking things we probably should all remember...Attorney NP has never claimed his client is innocence of the charges....He says the client has an alibi; he says the client will tell his tale to the jury; he says the client is being maligned; and he says the state can't prove its case. Any claims of complete innocence are not heard...Just saying...
Funny you mention No Case Norm saying that FD has an alibi. He certainly has woven a tangled web on the topic as far as I can tell....so far he has at least 3 strikes but I'm still counting!
Looks like Pattis has recently totally backed up the bus and is in 'duck and cover mode at Pattis headquarters' on the entire issue of alibi IMO post KM wife statements in court and to the press. Could KM have been the local atty that makes 'house calls' in the am and was with FD on the am of 24th? Or perhaps could KM have been with FD in NC on the am of the 24th? Not sure if KM will be a witness for the defence or prosecution? Curious state of affairs to say the least! Sad that they might have to get him out of prison for his testimony as showing up in an orange jumpsuit won't present the best image to the jury I would think.....oh well, I'm sure Pattis will think of some way around this less than optimal prison couture for KM trip to court to testify on behalf of his good buddy FD!
When Pattis first came on board he made a qualifying statement around the alibi, I think along the lines that 'sustantially all of the time on the 24th' could be accounted for by FD. This sounded promising, until it fell apart! Strike 1!
Then Pattis made the statement that FD was in Farmington, CT all am and we were treated to true Pattis twisted logic on the timing of making it RT from Farmington to NC, commiting a 'violent act' and cleaning up etc. This sounded promising too until it because clear that an accomplice and advance planning made it totally possible to commit the crime in the am and return to Farmington later in the morning. We've learned that FD is a brilliant planner but is prone to some catastrophic errors (see Albany Avenue trip description in Arrest Warrant). Strike 2!
In the middle of all this craziness, Pattis made the statement about bringing a motion to drop the charges against MT as SHE HAD THE ALIBI FOR FD. This feeble claim died when Atty Bowman wouldn't speak with Pattis and the no contact order was approved by Judge White. Oops, quite the hard ball spinner. Strike 3!
Since these statements were made weeks ago, its been crickets and radio silence from No Case Norm on the topic of alibi and FD whereabouts on the 23rd/24th. We've gone from Pattis & Crew being ready for an August trial to a sheepish Pattis asking the Judge last week for extra weekend days to respond because, "...you know how it is Judge!".
I wonder if as much as he complains about the 26 CDs he has rec'd from the State whether the information contained blew holes in all the prior claims that he had made about alibi and whether his high priced PI has made zero progress?
I don't think there is any mystery to the latest 'hail mary pass' to exclude the FD iPhoneX as Pattis and FD know they have nothing. No atty alibi, no mysterious greek phone call person and no way of proving that FD was in fact in Farmington on the 24th.
Can't count Pattis & Crew out by any stretch but they appear to be floundering IMO and nowhere on the alibi/aka Pattis alternative theory.
Wonder what Pattis is going to come up with for his reinvention of baseball with STRIKE 4 on the topic of alibi for FD!
MOO
